We could sell Dunk to Liverpool for £50 million and cut out the middle man.
That made me chuckle

If we were going to "take a chance", I'd rather we took a chance with one of our own youngsters than somebody else's.

Unthinkable! We are Brighton & Hove Albion and we don't do things like that! You'd have us putting TEENAGERS in our glorious team, like lesser clubs like Liverpool do? Oh the shame of it!
Surely it's called the U23s because that's where they have to stay until they are 23?

Like who? Who do you suggest? If it came to it I would sooner recall O'Grady from Burton.

I know Sunderland are short of money at the moment but if I were one of their fans, I'd rather try a development squad player than sign Lescott.
It's mad that all season the Albion have had the quality of Goldson and Uwe twiddling their thumbs, while Blunderland are signing Lescott.

And Brighton have signed a Junior Right Back, to provide cover, so that our Junior Right Back can go out on loan, Yes i know he will get more game time but i still cannot see the sense in this. Surely the Chelsea player will be on considerably higher salary than our player, even though we only pay a percentage?

I was thinking exactly the same - why give another clubs 19 year old some experience when we can give our own 20 (??) year old right back that very same experience?

Don't wait for me!
Chelsea will probably be paying for a large majority of his salary as we're giving their player, who is worth a lot more than our player and better developed, some time and experience with a first team. We're doing the same for Hunt.

Because maybe just maybe the Chelsea lad is better than our lad, and in the event of them needing to play at some point this season, wouldn't it be good to have the best player available on the pitch?

Not seen such Bravery!
Yes I agree. I'm sure Tony would be delighted to risk promotion just so Rob Hunt can get some games here.
When does his next £20 million cheque need writing ?
